Elijah Wood’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Elijah Wood was born on Wednesday, 28 January 1981, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Their zodiac sign is Aquarius, with the Moon in Scorpio. Elijah turns 45 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.

Air carries the most weight: six of the ten planets, against water two, fire one and earth one. Fixed signs hold five, cardinal signs four and mutable signs one. Sun, Mercury and Mars all fall in Aquarius. Libra holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 28 January, among them Gianluigi Buffon, Carlos Slim and Alan Alda.

Elijah Wood’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Aquarius

about 8° Aquarius at midday

An Aquarius Sun sees differently. Ideas ahead of their time, a wide circle of friends and a stubborn streak of independence are the marks of this placement in Elijah Wood's chart. The growth is letting people close without feeling caged.

All Aquarius Suns

Moon sign

Scorpio

in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time

The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Elijah that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.

Elijah Wood’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Elijah Wood’s private life.

  1. Sun in Aquarius

    8° Aquarius 44' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    Elijah Wood's purpose, with the Sun in Aquarius, probably lies in being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, with a vitality that rises around causes and communities. The tension can be detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It is the placement of the reliable one at meetings who is the hardest person to reach one to one.

  2. Moon in Scorpio

    Scorpio, all day

    needs and habits

    For Elijah, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius

    26° Aquarius 09' at midday

    mind and voice

    In Elijah's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.

  4. Venus in Capricorn

    21° Capricorn 51' at midday

    love and values

    For Elijah, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.

  5. Mars in Aquarius

    22° Aquarius 43' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Elijah can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.

  6. Jupiter in Libra

    10° Libra 21' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    In Elijah's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.

  7. Saturn in Libra

    9° Libra 41' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    For Elijah, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio

    29° Scorpio 33' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Much of Elijah's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius

    23° Sagittarius 58' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Elijah in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

  10. Pluto in Libra

    24° Libra 20' at midday ℞

    power, generational

    Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Elijah belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.

Aspects in Elijah Wood’s chart

How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.

  1. Jupiter conjunction Saturn

    about 0.7° at midday

    Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Elijah Wood's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.

  2. Sun trine Saturn

    about 0.9° at midday

    Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Elijah's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.

  3. Mars sextile Neptune

    about 1.2° at midday

    In Elijah's chart, drive and imagination help each other along gently, so inspired action is possible before everything has been mapped out. The motivation is soft but workable, and it keeps a creative or compassionate project moving without forcing it.

  4. Sun trine Jupiter

    about 1.6° at midday

    With the Sun trine Jupiter, Elijah's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.

  5. Mars trine Pluto

    about 1.6° at midday

    Resilience under pressure, and the ability to come back stronger from a setback, are the marks of this trine between drive and the capacity for change. In Elijah's chart the aspect points to a quiet, formidable strength, the kind other people notice mainly in how little it seems to cost.

  6. Mercury trine Pluto

    about 1.8° at midday

    Elijah's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and Elijah can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.

The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

How this page is made

Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
